Trees Tree Day is a project that Klub Gaja has been carrying out since 2003. It is a national and international action for planting trees on October 10 every year with an accompanying program for ecological education. The project is based on local activity, primarily of the youth, as well as the representatives of various institutions, local communities, local government, business, and non-government organisations. Since 2007 Tree Day is organising in connection with UNEP “Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign”. Our initiative was presented in UNEP “The Billion Tree Campaign Album”.
In 2010 with broad public participation, we planted 43138 trees, which were entered into the UN One Billion Trees for the Planet campaign database. School students in Poland collected 268 tons of scrap paper. 43362 people participated in the program, including school children and young people from various types of educational facilities, field education centres, as well as local communities, public agencies, local governments and business.
Our message: Let’s plant a tree for peace has reached 35 countries all over the world. The trees for peace were planted in Poland, Argentina, Iceland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Columbia, Scotland, England, Denmark, Austria, Ireland, India, and other countries. In many places of the world, Tree’s Day does not solely mean the action of planting trees for peace, but also other numerous projects for the protection of the natural environment, co-operation, and tolerance.
Each of us can plant a Tree for Peace or help in the promotion of this idea. The easiest way to do it is to send the information, the poster or the leaflet to a befriended school, an institution, or a person in any corner of our planet. We hope that each year we shall be more numerous and we shall plant more trees! For Peace! Please send us also your reports of the actions, photographs, and newspaper cuttings.

Janusz Korczak (1897-1942) was a Polish physician and educator. He loved children, especially the poorest ones who lived in tragic conditions. Korczak was not only a doctor but also a director of Dom Sierot. It was an orphanage for Jewish children in Warsaw. It was a very special institution because children had their own parliament, court and newspaper. Janusz Korczak didn’t leave his orphan children during the World War II and was killed at Treblinka along with the children. Janusz Korczak was also a writer. He wrote over 20 books. He is famous for his books for children. The most well-known book is King Matt the First. It was published in 1922.
The book was as popular in Poland as Peter Pan in the English –speaking countries. King Matt the First is the story of a boy who becomes king and sets out to reform his kingdom. He wants to improve life for the children. Matt wants children all over the world have their rights. King Matt has good intentions but he has no experience. For example, he orders that all children should get a piece of chocolate at the end of each day. King-boy makes a lot of mistakes. He has no wise adviser to help him govern. He puts his ministers into jail. The consequences of king Matt’s decisions are different what he expects. Matt’s greedy neighbour kings become jealous of his success and the war breaks up. Finally King Matt is made to live on a desert island.
Korczak said: "Love the child, not just your own." "Children are not people of tomorrow; they are people today." "A child is not a lottery ticket, marked to win the main prize." "There are no more fools among children than among adults." drf

NIE MA DZIECI – SĄ LUDZIE
Janusz Korczak (1878 – 1942) był lekarzem, pedagogiem, pisarzem i działaczem społecznym żydowskiego pochodzenia. W tamtych czasach obowiązywała powszechnie zasada, że „dzieci i ryby głosu nie mają”. O dzieci należało dbać, wychowywać je, ale nie miały prawa wypowiadać się w sprawach dla nich najważniejszych. W szczególnie trudnej sytuacji znajdowały się sieroty, których los był nie do pozazdroszczenia. Pozbawione miłości i opieki, mogły być łatwo skrzywdzone. Takim właśnie dzieciom poświęcił swoje życie Janusz Korczak (a dokładniej Henryk Goldszmit), prowadząc Dom Sierot w Warszawie. Była to wyjątkowa instytucja, w której obowiązywały inne prawa niż w podobnych zakładach. Dzieci miały swój parlament, sąd i gazetę. Podczas II Wojny Światowej, w 1940r. sierociniec został przeniesiony do getta. Dwa lata później wszystkie dzieci zostały wysłane do obozu zagłady w Treblince. Janusz Korczak, dzięki licznym znajomościom, mógł uniknąć śmierci. Zdecydował się jednak towarzyszyć swym podopiecznym do końca.
Janusz Korczak był nie tylko lekarzem, ale i pisarzem. Prowadził audycje radiowe, napisał wiele artykułów, książek dla dzieci i o dzieciach. Najbardziej znaną powieścią jest „Król Maciuś Pierwszy”. Korczak był pionierem walki o prawa dzieci, które kilkadziesiąt lat później zostały przedstawione w KONWENCJI O PRAWACH DZIECKA i przyjęte przez Zgromadzenie Ogólne ONZ w 1989r. Pragnąc oddać hołd wielkiemu człowiekowi, Sejm Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej ogłosił rok 2012 Rokiem Janusza Korczaka.
